Ok so i wonder if fifa and rocket league will be aftected by the new subscription system. I wont buy anymore any of them to be honest cause i bought a switch to play not to pay to play. In playstation i can play online with fut even if i dont buy a psplus, will be the same thing here? If not il purchase only games for the story. | start to regret buying this switch. Same quesion aply for rockeat league to.

We don't know for sure, but I guess it will affect them. However F2P games (Fortnite; Paladins) won't be affected by NSO.

Also, you bought the Switch not to pay to play online? It was announced alongside the Switch that you would eventually have to pay to play online.

I bought it yesterday cause i see it on a coworker and he was having both fifa and rockeat and y say, well why not i does look prety decent and its portable. He didnt mention a subscription is coming to it. I purcahsed only Riptide GP Renegate for teh moment cause i like to play with my firends home. In rest i am still undicide....

So actually it's his fault... Not Nintendo's nor yours!

I didnt say its theyre fault, nor anyones, its just anoyng cause i wished mainly those games to be portable, but il just stick with single player games for story.

The paid online multiplayer service was announced when the Switch came out. I have a theory that they were waiting till the system had enough multiplayer games that people would be willing to pay. As for what games will be online enabled without paying, if it's like other consoles it'll mainly be the Online Only games that don't require a subscription. So MOBAs, MMOs, and the like. Particularly if the game it's self wants a monthly subscription.

Sports games like Fifa on the other hand? Expect to need a Nintendo Online subscription for online multiplayer.

EDIT: Also, the subscription fee will be for online multiplayer. It will not gate offline single player game modes. Nor is it suppose to be required for local wireless multiplayer where each person has their own switch (and copy of the game)

"Nintendo Account required. Online features will be free until the Nintendo Switch Online Service launches in September 2018. For the latest list of countries and full details, please visit Customer Support."

I kind of think it was so that they could hold people's games over them. "Hey you like splatoon2? Yeah, well pay up or lose access." Other than the initial announcement they have not really made true effort to make sure people are informed. Almost like they don't really want people to know what's coming.

I'd already gone into the history of paid online service on consoles, and how the writing has been on the walls for nearly two decades. Multiple times. So I wont go into it again. What I will do is ask why people are so absolutely positive there are no servers involved with Nintendo's online capable Switch games. Especially with games like Diablo 3 coming to the Switch, which most assuredly do have central servers for online play. And sports games like Fifa which again have central servers for online play.
